Rainbows End Crafter

This is a Tando Creative Tag I have created by painting half with blue and half with red DecoArt Media Paint after initially covering with white gesso.  Then I covered with DecoArt crackle paint, and allowed to dry naturally.  I used washes of the red and blue to tone down the tag and also stamped script in random places in Stazon in bergundy and cobalt blue. This I knocked back with white DecoArt media paint .  For the “COLD” and “WARM” phrases, I used Tim Holtz Halloween stencil and picked out the individual letters by using a small stencil brush and the Stazon  (colours as above).  I made a silicone mold of a 3d skeleton hand decoration and used air dry clay to make the boney hand .

The Coffin was cut out of greyboard using Tim Holtz (TH) Coffin as a template - I decided to make my own after deciding that Tim's was too deep for my project. I ran the sections through the TH Wood grain embossing folder then painted with DAMF Carbon black and brushed over with Burnt Sienna to bring out the ridges.
